【Chit Chat】 About What's Next...

It's been two months since our last update, so I figured it's time to pop in and say hello. I wanted to chat with you all a bit and give you a heads-up on what we're up to.

During these past two months, we've been working hard on Version 1.4 of "Project Virtual Girl ." This update includes a brand new scene, a fresh character, eight new outfits, and four new interactions. Just a few days ago, we added Light Volume, which enhances the lighting and shadows on the characters for a more realistic effect. It's been a significant update that has consumed a lot of our time, and we're still fine-tuning the interactions and other features. We're aiming to release it by the end of the month.

When I initially started developing this game, I had planned to update every two weeks. However, as things progressed, the time between updates inevitably stretched longer. In the middle of all this, I also experimented with other features, like the previous bath demo. Recently, I tested integrating AI dialogue and confirmed its applicability within the game. The main challenge, though, might be persuading players to spend an extra few dollars for a large language model API.

The issue of lacking a storyline in the game still persists. I'm somewhat hesitant about whether the game really needs a plot. It feels a bit of a shame to have such beautiful characters with no substance or soul. However, these characters are already publicly available paid models, so adding new storylines feels a bit odd. As a result, we've postponed this aspect. The game does have mission and dialogue functions; we just haven't added substantial content to them yet.

In the future, I might develop another action game, taking inspiration from "Succubus Heaven" on DLsite. The gameplay concept involves controlling three characters to enter a dungeon and fight monsters. When attacked by monsters, the game transitions into an H interaction scene. During these interactions, players can switch to another character to continue fighting or keep watching the interaction until all three characters are defeated, ending the game. The development and release process for this new game will be straightforward: release a version after completing each level until we finish all levels and reach the official release. Right now, this new game is still in the prototype verification phase. If everything goes smoothly, it should be developed alongside the "Project Virtual Girl"

I know many of you subscribed because of the animated videos I made previously. However, since I've ventured into game development, I'm committed to making great games. Whether it's one game or several, my goal is to create games that everyone enjoys playing. If you're skilled in monster modeling or 3D scene creation, please feel free to reach out to me. We welcome anyone to join our team in any capacity.
